MR. TOi\'lLl.\ISON'S SPEECH.
[coNci.uDi«:D.]
It is said that a loan may now be taken on terms
favorable to the government. ‘I admit it. There
is no difficulty in procuring the money. Ypu
need but authorize a loan, and foreign capital will
till it. The rate ofinterest v.l":icli is here given
will draw capital from abroad. But, pt‘: it remem-
bered, that, by the use of foreign capital, the na-
tion becnnies in a measure tributary to foreign-
ms.‘ The principal must ultimately be refunded,
and t e interest paid quarterly. Already, sir, as
we have been told, by an official report from the
treasury, above l.5',\0_‘00,000 of our national debt is
due to ftireignersfithe annual interest of which, at
six per cent, is om’: million five /zumlred 2/musand
dollars.’ Shall wc,",;sir', increase this monstrous
tribute by aclditional loans? If you value your in-
depcntlence, your liberty, nay, your existenceas
a nation, I tvatfifiiyou to abstain. Profit by the ex-
amples of other nations who are sinking under the
weight oftheir augmented debts. Practice upon
the maxim, that money is fzoiocr ,- pay your nation-
al debt; and, with t! lull treasury, you will be
prepared for any emergency.
There is, then, sir, but one course left, and that
is, to adopt a judicious and prudent but thorough
system of retrenchment. This nation must put‘-
sue that course whichlevcry wise and considerate
man, who had maintained a splendid establish-
ment, would adopt on finding his income dimin-
islicd, to which many individuals _:l:l_§‘-7 this nation
have already given their practical sanction; it
must reduce those establishments which are not
absolutely necessary. Sir, would a wise and pru-
dent individual, who had been accustomed toa
coach and tour, on finding his income inadequate
to his expenditures, borrow money to meet those
expenditures? No, sir, he would take off a mil‘.
and then another, and dispose of his coach, and
take a gig, and even travel on horseback, if neces-
sary, in order to conform his establishment to his
income. He would put an end to every expend-
iture which should not be indispensably necessa-
:-y, notwithstanding it might contribute to his
convenierce. Splendor would be laid aside, and
plain simplicity take its place.) The legitimate
and necessary cffetzt of a contrary course would be
individual ruin. And can a nation, pursuing the
couse which an individual would take, expect to
escape national clcstruction ? y
In my judgment, nothing but a thorough and
perscvering system of economy and retrench-
men: will preserve the useful institutions of this
nation. Unless some of our superfluous es-
iablislmients be curtailed, and the trcaury there-
by relievetl, there is great danger that we ,muy
be ultimately compelled to prostrate ylhose
which are of \ital importance, and that ‘here a
‘ re-action’ will produce an unfortunate effect."-
But it has been asked, where will you begin this
work ofretrcnclimcnti’ By the bill on your ta-
blc, our attention is directly drawn to the army.
This bill proposes to reduce your army from
10,000 to 6,000 men, retaining the number of of-
licers requisite to command that force. And can
gentlemen point me to a more lit object of re-
trenchment, in time of peace ? It hasindecd been
urged that this force will not be adequate to meet
the c.mergt‘nCy of an unexpected war. This I
will not deny, if we are to rely solely upon an ar-
my to repel invasion ; nor would 50,000 men he
at-lequate to that object,unaided by any other force.
But I do deny that it is or ever has been the poli-
cy olthis nation to maintain a large standing ar-
my in time of peace.
‘l he constitution of the United States gives to
Congress the power ‘to provide for organizing,
arming, and disciplining the militia.’ For what
pnrpost-? ‘ To repel invasions.’ Sir, the militia
are the constitutional defence of this country in
time of peacc,and in the onset of war, until reg-
ulars can be raised. In the language of the first
President of the United Stales, they are ‘the ar-
my ofthe constitution.’ The framers of that in-
strument, deeply impressed as they were with a
sense of the manifold evils arising from a large
standing army, manifestly intended that the mili-
tia should be looked to as the legitimate and prin-
cipal defence of this nation upon the land.
This great principal ofour ‘overnment as to
national defence, has receivetl 136 repeated satie-
tion of \Vashington. In his speech delivered to
Con_t:t'css at the opening oftlie s osion in Decem-
ber, 1793, after adverting to the necessity of pro-
curing supplies of arms and military stores, leav-
ing nothing to the uncertainty of procuring a war-
like apparatus in the moment of public danger,
he says, with a force peculiar to hirnsr;lf; ‘ “0? Cal‘!
such arrangements, with such objects, be ex-
posed to the censure or jealousy of the warmest
t'riends of republican government. Tliey are in-
ca'~=\ble of abuse in the hands oi" the Militia, who
;.s
I
ought to possess a pride in being the o’e/zo.s-.ito1'y of
the force of the republic, and may be trained to
a (lcgrce of energ_:y equal to every military exigen-
cv of the United States.’ This is the language
of the founder of American liberty and indepen-
dence. Sir, when I have such authority for my
z-pinions, I ptonounce them. fearl<:ss of contradic-
tion. lrcst upon a basis which is not easily sha-
ken.
Shall I hereafter be told, that the militia are not
to be relied upon to defend the country? Sir,
who are the militia against whom so much has
been said, and who have been prououncctl so incl‘-
ficient? They are the freemen of this country
with arms in their hands; they area band of citi-
zen soldiers 800,000 strong. And will not they
defend the countzy which contains all they hold
dear ? \Vill they refuse to defcn=.l their fncsitlcs,
their wives, their children,and the gnve1‘ninent of
their choice? Sir, they will prcscnta front of
steel to an invacling foe, a protection, in myjutlg-
ment, much to be preferred to the ‘ iron front’ of
astanding army, so highly appreciated by the
hono ‘able gentleman from ‘Virginia, (Mi'.Sinitli.)
This country will probably be attacked by a
foreign power, on its maratime frontier,‘ and on
the lakes which divide the United States from lht:
British possessions bordering on these lakes,»-
